Data center company
Expedient has launched a new data center facility in Dublin, Ohio, United States. The company offers a range of services including colocation and managed services such as virtualization, cloud computing, remote backups, and storage. With around 10 years in the market, the company is a subsidiary of Landmark Media Enterprises, LLC. Expedient has currently opened the first phase of its new 60,000 square foot center.
Expedient has 11 data centers in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, Baltimore, Boston, Memphis and Indianapolis, each connected by a redundant 10Gbps fiber network. The company’s new Dublin data center will “ultimately triple Expedient's footprint in the Columbus market” and make the company the region’s “only data center provider capable of offering both in-market geographic diversity and seamless out-of-market, off-site hosting alternatives”.
Expedient‘s new center is designed to be SSAE16, SOC I and SOC II audit compliant and meet industry and regulatory standards such as PCI-DSS and HIPAA. Phase one of the new center offers 15,000 square feet of space with “dual power feeds, four 800 kW Liebert UPS systems, 570 tons of cooling, four Caterpillar diesel generators with 6MW of total capacity and completely diverse telecom entrances”. News of the new facility comes in the wake of the company’s 2013 expansion of its data center in Upper Arlington, Ohio, United States.
"The response of the mid-Ohio market greatly exceeded expectations for our Upper Arlington facility, which opened in 2010, and a continually building demand from the Columbus technology community was the primary driver for adding the Dublin facility," explained Expedient’s Vice President Bryan Smith.
